In My Mailbox (31)

Another Sunday, another In My Mailbox! In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren where we show what bookish things we got this week. I had a good week again! Well, actually, every week when I get books is a good week, don't you think? Lol. Here's my IMM vlog for this week!

Thanks Lena :) No I order almost all of my books off Bookdepository or Amazon, depending on what's cheaper :) Bol.com has great service, but their prices are quite steep and I can't afford that much money on books.. For the same price of 1 book on Bol, I can buy 2 or 3 on Bookdepository :)

Did you happen to order this version of The Handmaid's Tale by any chance: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Handmaids-Tale-Margaret-Atwood/9780099740919

It's because I found that when you type the *EXACT* ISBN into GoodReads it comes up with the cover you have. I noticed this when I was adding it to my bookshelves. So that may explain why you got that one!

Yes that's the edition that I ordered.. I emailed them but they said they couldn't guarantee that you get the cover you order. Which I find ridiculous, because I partly select a book on the cover.. (if I can pick from multiple covers, that is). They said that they can only deliver the cover that is supplied on the books they receive from the publisher, which is only logical, but then why not put the right cover up on your site? *frustrating*

(I just asked them if they could change the cover on the site, because the book is in great condition.. But they won't. Sigh)

This one came on my radar because of your Dystopian List, so thank you!!
